Verdi Club: The Nick Rossi Swing Six at the Woodchopper’s Ball
NICK ROSSI SWING SIX:
Swing rhythm guitarist Nick Rossi, who can often be seen and heard playing throughout the Bay Area and beyond with other bands, brings his own all-star group to play hard-driving 1930’s-1940’s small group swing, perfect for both Lindy Hop and Balboa. Enjoy this wonderful band on a spacious hardwood floor with room to swing out!
